Blocking someone on Twitter means that person will not be able to follow you, view your tweets or send you private messages. And in case of having blocked them, if you unlock them, they will be able to do all that, as in the beginning.
If you block a person, they automatically stop being your follower and will not be able to contact you either. In fact, this is the only way to remove followers on Twitter . But there are many possible reasons why you might want to block someone, and in this post we will see how easy it is to do both.
